These episodes mirror so many conversations that my wife and I have about parenting / kids. Conversations that I am sure I would have with fellow parents in a universe where dads of 4 get to have a healthy social life. Great podcast, I look forward to it every time it shows up in my feed!

In general, most “parenting” podcasts are full of soft spoken mothers who aren’t willing to admit that being a modern parent is incredibly frustrating. Within 10 mins, I was so happy to listen to other parents complain without judgement. Fan for life!

listening to Quinn & Claire is like having two smart, thoughtful, funny friends hanging out on your couch talking while you putter around the house. in each episode I chuckle with recognition at least once, but also inevitably learn something new, whether it’s a random fact or a new parenting strategy to try. never too light or too heavy, it’s the perfect podcast for….right now 😉🤪

A parenting podcast that doesn’t call you Mama. It’s great, love it!

I love how relatable your podcast is. Great advice in the Q&A this week!

These podcasts are genuinely funny and help me feel less alone in the crazy parenting world of today. I find myself thinking “It’s not just me!” multiple times an episode. Makes me feel like a better parent because it somehow lowers the bar. 😂

I’m truly excited when a new episode shows up in my feed! It’s so hard to find truly honest conversations about parenting and Claire and Quinn deliver every single time. Favorite ep so far is “This Is Me at My Best.” I’ve sent episodes to my husband, my sister, and I recommended it on my newsletter. Can’t wait to hear more!

Because sometimes, you grow a person from scratch inside you and they turn around and literally bite you on the butt when they’re 4 because you committed the war crime of telling them you’d get them more apple juice once you were done writing an email because mommy has to work to buy the apple juice but also the way they pronounce “pancake” as “pam-pake”? Ugh. Hypothetically, I mean.

Always a huge relief to find your people, even in a parasocial way. Parenting today is not easy, and Claire and Quinn give me some hope that there’s no one right way to do this!

As of this writing, we are 9 episodes in, all of which are exquisite and communally cathartic on their own. Every episode leaves me contemplating my own parenting style and hottakes on the slow burning dumpster fire that is parenting in the 21 century. I was hooked in episode two when Claire revealed her theory that “dads are harder on their sons because…they hate thinking that they were ever that dumb”. I immediately felt naked, like she had been given a transcript of my personal inner truth and was speaking directly to me. Now I am just George Kastanza, staring off into the ocean, questioning all my parenting decisions. I don’t know if I am prepared for the next revelation, but yet, I get a flood of dopamine when I see a new episode waiting in my player.

This is not precisely a question that Quinn and Claire tackle on this humorous yet down to Earth podcast, but it could be. Their witty banter says right out loud a lot of the things parents think to themselves, and we’re all better for it.

Not Right Now is the conversations I have after bedtime + the thoughts in my head. Thank you for the commiseration of what it means to have too many water bottles yet never the *right* one. Also, literally, how did you find the time to start a podcast?! You both are amazing.

No, parenting does not come with an instruction manual, and neither does this podcast. But Claire and Quinn do you one better: they’re a constant reminder that no, you’re NOT the only one who wants to Kool-Aid Man yourself through the nearest wall after your kid asks you where their water bottle is for the 37th time. Come for the catharsis, stay for the thoughtful and genuinely hilarious conversations about parenting in, around and for our modern world’s problems.

Thank you, Claire and Quinn for this excellent podcast. Your conversation on episode 1 captures what I’m talking about with (only my most sane and irreverent) parent friends. Refreshing and thoughtful and just what I need. If I had a billboard on a crowded freeway in my city, I would cover it in the Not Right Now logo. 🙌

Very excited about this new podcast! I feel less guilty about the thoughts I have to myself sometimes about parenthood. Glad to know I am not alone. Great job!
